 PREFACIO
Cuando los originales del Engineers' Dictionay quedaron listos en 1943, la
segunda guerra mundial estaba en su apogeo y esto llevó a la casa editora y al
autor a convenir de que el libro no debía exceder de unas cuatrocientas cincuenta
p4ginas. Algún material debió ser retirado y aunque el libro resultante trataba
detenidamente de ingeniería civil, no pudo contener muchos términos usados en
otras ramas de la ingeniería.
Poco tiempo después de su publicación yo me retiré del trabajo activo de
ingenieria y desde entonces he tenido amplias oportunidades para dedicarme a la
compilación de un diccionario más extenso. El material que debió ser retirado
se ha agregado ahora y se ha estudiado una gran cantidad de material nuevo.
He consultado con muchos amigos de la América Latina y en cada viaje he traído
conmigo publicaciones técnicas de diversas clases como fuente de términos
españoles. Constantemente he escudriñado las revistas de ingenieria y los
libros nuevos publicados en ambos idiomas.
El campo de acción sigue siendo la ingenieria y las referencias frecuentes a la
química, la geología o la metalurgia no significan que estas materias estén total-
mente abarcadas en este libro. Cada una de ellas necesitaría un volumen aparte.
Los términos incluidos de estas u otras materias son aquellos regularmente
requeridos en un trabajo o estudio de ingenieria. Igual criterio se ha seguido en
la selección de algunos pocos términos de finanzas, seguros y transportes.
Al ampliar la obra mis principales propósitos han sido los siguientes:
Abarcar la ingenieria eléctrica y mecánica en manera mucho más amplia.
La radio que no se mencionó para nada en la primera edición ha recibido cuida-
doso estudio. Se han incluido términos importantes de la televisión.
Poner al día todos los ramos de la ingenieria civil. Se ha dado especial atenci6n
a la mechica de los suelos, a la fotogrametria y al proyecto y construcción de
aeropuertos.
Incluir los términos más importantes correspondientes a minería, arquitectura
naval, explotación forestal, industria azucarera y campos petrolíferos.

Una nueva adición es la indicación de género de los substantívos en español.

El objeto de un diccionario técnico es proporcionar información que no se
encuentra en otra parte. Se supone que el diccionario de Webster incluye todas
y cada una de las palabras del idioma inglés, aún las más técnicas, pero no abarca
las frases que figuran en glosarios oficiales de las sociedades de ingeniería.
Muchas de las palabras de este libro se encuentran también en los mejores
diccionarios generales inglésespañol. Buttress se encuentra en cualquiera de
ellos, igualmente que thread, pero no buttress thread. Aguja y también infernal
se encuentran, pero no aguja i n j d . La mayoría de mis esfuerzos se han
vii
viii PREFACIO
concentrado en el registro de significados o equivalentes de locuciones que no
pueden expresarse con una sola palabra.
La nomenclatura de piezas de maquinaria requiere un constante uso de buen
criterio. Cada fabricante tiene su propia lista de piezas para cada máquina
y algunas m4quinas constan de tantas que llegan al millar. Las partes principales
de una máquina deben enumerarse y con ellas, fuera de los térmlnos como
cojinete, leva, tornillo, resorte, rodillo y válvula, deben identificarse con un
nombre la gran mayoría de las piezas componentes.
A pesar de algunos consejos adversos recibidos, yo creo todavia que las
definiciones están fuera de lugar en un diccionario técnico bilingüe. El interesado
que busca en un libro como éste el término slip-ring motor quiere encontrar el
equivalente aceptado en español y no una descripción del motor. Las de-
finiciones aumentarian mucho el volumen del libro. La práctica seguida ha
sido la de definir un término solamente al carecer de un equivalente satisfactorio
y en algunos casos para evitar ambigüedades.
Es obvio que existen en este libro muchas palabras, tanto en español como
en inglés, que tienen otros significados además de los anotados. Se han omitido
los significados no técnicos, a& como aquellos que pertenecen a la botánica,
zoologia y otras ciencias de interés muy relativo para el ingeniero.
Algunos de los términos de la obra original han sido criticados llam4ndolos
"mal español". Un crítico me ha dicho que la incorporación de tales términos
a un diccionario tiende a perpetuarlos y a perjudicar el idioma. Mi punto de
vista es que la exactitud de los términos técnicos en cualquier idioma es esta-
blecida por los técnicos que los crean y los usan, y la tarea del compilador del
diccionario es la de registrar su uso. En esta obra se trata de dar n los técnicos
de habla inglesa de la América del Norte la terminología de ingeniería usada en
los paises de habla española de América y viceversa. Términos tomados de
publicaciones oficiales, de especificaciones de ingenieros y de libros de texto se
consideran expresiones usadas y "aceptadas". Para muchos miles de términos
en inglés no hay equikalente en "buen español" si se sigue el criterio de la Real
Academia. Esta es la razón de la diferencia entre unos 125,000 términos en
el dccionario de la Academia y de unos 500,000 en el de Webster.
Los equivalentes en español de marcas de ftibrica o de comercio en inglés
presentan un problema. La simple aseveración de que estos nombres no pueden
traducirse no soluciona el problema, porque muchas traducciones son de uso
corriente en los paises de habla española. Muchos de estos términos ya se han
incorporado a otros diccionarios en español o en español-inglés. Hay propietarios
de marcas de fábrica o comercio quienes han creado expresamente equivalentes
en español para usarlos en su propaganda. Yo he seguido la pr4ctica de incluir
todo término de esta clase que he encontrado en buen uso lécnico. Debe notarse
que muchos términos en inglés de esta clase se han hecho tan conocidos que con
la sanción de Webster regularmente se escriben sin mayúscula. Para la mayoría
de estos términos hay equivalentes en español igualmente bien establecidos.
Muchos amigos que me proporcionaron consejos en la preparación de la
obra original me han ayudado de nuevo. Estoy particularmente agradecido al
señor George C. Bunker con quien he pasado muchas horas en Caracas. Además
de concederme amplio tiempo, me presentó a ingenieros venezolanos de quienes
obtuve material de gran valor. Para muchos términos de ingenieria sanitaria,

 PREFACE
Under the war conditions of 1943, when the original Engzngzneers' DEctkrg
wras in preparation, publisher and author agreed that the book ought to be kept
down to about 450 pages. Some material had to be laid aside, and although the
resulting book dealt thoroughly with civil engineering, it could not go very far
with the terms of other fields.
Shortly after publication of the original book 1retired from active work and
have since found ample time to devote to the compilation of a much more com-
prehensive dictionary. The items formerly laid aside have been worked in and
a mass of new material has been studied. 1 have consulted many friends in
Latin America and from each trip have brought back technical publications of
many kinds to be worked over for my Spanish .terms. 1 have constantly combed
the engineering periodicals and the newest books in both languages.
My field is still engineering. Frequent referentes to chemistry, geology, or
metallurgy do not mean that these subjects are covered. Each of them would
need a volurne of its own. Terms of these and other sciences here included are
those which are regularly q d e d in connection with engineering work. The
same criterion has governed the selection of a very few of the terms of hance,
insurance, and transportation.
In enlarging the book my principal objectives have been three:
1. To cover electrical and mechanical engineering much more thoroughly.
Radio, of which the ñrst edition had nothing, has been given thorough study.
Important terms of television have been included.
2. To bring all branches of civil engineering up to date. Special attention
has been given to photogramrnetry, soil mechanics, and airport construction.
3. To include the important terms peculiar to mining, shipbuilding, logging,
sugar milling, and oil-field operations.
A new feature is the notation of gender with al1 Spanish nouns.
The purpose of a technical dictionary is to furnish information not found
elsewhere. Webster's is supposed to include every word in the English language
no matter how technical, but i t does not cover the phrases that are listed in
official glossaries of the engineering societies. Many of the words in this book
will be found also in the best English-Spanish general dictionaries. Broad is
found anywhere and so is irriqatio-n, but not broad imigat2on. Buttress is found
and so is thread, but they cannot be combined into an equivalent for buttress
thread. Most of my effort has gone into p i ~ i n gdown the phrases.
The listing of machine parts calls for the constant use of judgment. Every
wnufacturer has his own list of parts for each machine, and some machina
have parts running into the thousands. The principal members of a machine
xi '

PREFACE
must be liste4 and k t h these, plus terms like bearing, canl, boit, spring, roller,
and valve, equivalents of the vast &ajority of part nanies may h jvritten easily.
In spite of some advice to the contrary 1 still believe that defiriitions are out
of place in a two-language technical dictionary. The user who turns to slip-
ring motor in a book such as this wants the accepted Spanish equivalents of that
term and is not looking for a description of a slip-ring motor. Definitions ~vould
add greatly to the book's bulk. My practice has been to define a term only in
default of a satisfactory equivalent or occasionally to avoid ambiguity.
Obviously there are many words here, both Spanish and English, that have
meanings other than those given. Nontechnical meanings have usually been
ignored, as have those which belong to botany, zoology, or other sciences that
do not concern thq engineer.
Some of the tenns in the original book have been criticized as "bad Spanish."
One critic tells nie that the listing of such terms in any dictionary tends to
perpetuate them and does an injury to the language. My own view is that
the correctness of technical terms in any language is established by the technical
men who create them and use them, and the job of the dictionary maker is to
record this usage. This book aims to give the North American technical man
the accepted engineering terminology of Spanish America, and vice versa.
Terms taken from offigialpublic~tions,from engineers' specifications, and from
textbooks are "accepted" terms. For many tliousands of English technical
terms there are no "good Spanish" equivalents, if the Roya1 Academy is to be
the criterion. This is the principal reason for tlie difference between some
125,000 entries in the Academy dictionary and 500,000 in Webster's.
Spanish equivalents of English trade names are a problem. The simple
statement that proprietary names cannot be translated does not cover the situa-
tion because they are regubrly being translated in Spanish-speaking countries.
Many such terms have already appeared in other dictionaries, both straight
Spanish and English-Spanish. There are owners of Eiiglish trade names who
have deliberately created Spanish equivalents for use in their advertising.
My mle has been to include every term of this kind that 1 have found in good
technEcal use. It is to be noted also that there are a great many trade names in
English that have become so well kno~vnthat, witli Webster's spproval, they
are regularly written without the capital letter. For most of the terms in this
dass there are Spanish equivalents equally well established.
Many friends who advised with me in the preparation of the original book
have again been helpful. 1am particularly grateful to Mr. George C . Bunker
with whom 1 have spent many hours in Caracas. esi id es dving freely of his
own time he introduced me to Venezuelan engineers from whom 1 obtained
material of great value. For terms of sanitary engineering, both in English and
in Spanish, 1 have to thank Mr. Edmund B. Besselievre of the Dorr Co. and
Mr. Tomás R. Yglesias of Mexico City. Señor Juan de Dios Tejada of Havana
gave me his expert advice on many questions. The vocltbulary of geophysical
exploration, both English and Spanish, was furnished by engineers of the Socony
Vacuuin Oil Co.
